Fresh air near Farnham.

The BEST WESTERN Frensham Pond Hotel is a short distance from the lively market town of Farnham. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, overlooking Frensham Great Pond on the edge of The Surrey Hills, you'll also be close to Aldershot, Guildford, Farnborough and a number of local business parks.

Once home to the Bishop of Winchester, the hotel is a charming country house with a history of hospitality.

Everything about this venue was fabulous for my daughter's wedding. The hotel and its location are great, making the photos stunning. Our rooms were very impressive a short tour had to be undertaken in the morning to see who got the best one. I cannot rate the staff highly enough as all were brilliant right from the moment we contacted them, only 3 months before the date having just lost our previous venue to a fire, until we had to check out the morning after. Wow!!!less

This was an excellent choice for a conference venue. Mala and the team were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Our compliments to the chef for all the catering and for their flexibility with specific dietary requirements.
The location is lovely and our delegates have provided nothing but positive feedback.
Only slight let down was the lack of mobile signalless

Good venue, comfortable rooms and welcoming staff

Stayed at the hotel for 2nights,while the staff very attentive the let down was that we were greeted that their would only be bar meals due to weddings taking place on both days that we stayed. The cost was expensive for the facilities we encountered no restaurant in the evenings. Although we were informed of the refurbishment there was minor issues with the room.The air conditioning didn't work the first night but was rectified for the second and it was the hottest weather of the year so far. It would have been appreciated if bottled water was provided in the room. The breakfast was very good with lots of choice. The staff tried their best to overcome any issues. Couldn't fault the staff . It was a very busy weekend and the hotel was full . Location very good.less

Firstly I would like to say thankyou to Mala and Pavol! They were an amazing help on our wedding day and beforehand.
The reason we booked this hotel for the 18th of July 2015 for our wedding was the scenery... It overlooks the beautiful pond and the hotel itself is beautiful.
There has been some updating and refurbishments going on but there was nothing major on our wedding day.
The hotel is almost complete and I here they are getting a spa and a gym.
The outside bedrooms are being upgraded to in the future.
The wedding breakfast was great apart from the beef a few guests said it was quite rare but I'm sure that won't put anyone off booking a wedding here.. There was a lot of us to cater for a wedding of 100 and 120ish altogether with the evening reception.
The inside looks very modern and a old touch to it with the wood flooring like a country feel.
We stayed at the hotel for two nights and the first night we didn't have a jacuzzi room.. You must book this room for the night of your wedding as it gives it a more romantic touch however we upgraded to this room the night after and it is one of the best rooms.
I would recommend to book a week day wedding as on the weekends it's busier around the pond you get lots of people siting outside the hotel having a drink and this area isn't inclusive to your wedding so it feels like there are people outside on the chairs gatecrashing as you can't tell them to leave... Although we didn't mind this as it was nice for people to see us just married.
I would say this is one of the best places to get married because of the scenery and food!
Thanks again to the frensham pond hotel.. All the staff are so welcoming!less
